Tavia Yeung’s Sister Accused Of Starting Toilet Paper Buying Frenzy In Hongkong

Footage of people in Singapore frantically stocking up on essential food items and toilet paper because of the Wuhan virus outbreak have been making the rounds on the Internet, causing unnecessary panic and unease in our little red dot. But even before the Great Singapore Supermarket Sweep, Hongkong had faced the same problem.

And Hongkong actress Tavia Yeung’s older sister, Griselda, has been accused of starting the toilet paper hoarding craze after an audio recording of her talking about a possible shortage was uploaded online.

In the recording, the 42-year-old claimed that the majority of the toilet paper producers are based in Wuhan, and that there would be supply issues as the factories there have been shut because of the lockdown. She also claimed that her husband has a friend in the logistics business, and that he was notified that “there might be a short-term shortage of toilet paper because of the closures”.

This audio file, which quickly went viral, was said to have caused panic online as many took her words to be true, and it led to Hongkongers rushing out to the stores to buy toilet paper.
